Nice Vibrations x Lofelt

When I started work on Nice Vibrations back in 2017, I didn't have a grand plan for it. I just wanted a nice and simple way to trigger haptics on both iOS and Android. At the time, possibilities were extremely limited. It's only when CoreHaptics launched that I really fell in love with haptics. Being able to finely control haptics and so intimately communicate with the player opened an entire new way for game devs to work on their game's feel.

Four years later, Nice Vibrations has grown and is now the leading haptics solution for Unity. It's used by tons of games and studios around the world, from hypercasual games on mobile to HD titles on PC and console. Still, it can and should continue to improve. Quality of haptics on Android really varies from device to device and is a recurring frustration point for users, runtime control options are limited, and a single developer like me simply can't go and talk to manufacturers and tell them to fix their ecosystem, or improve their APIs.

That's why I'm really happy to announce a new partnership with Lofelt for the future of Nice Vibrations. Their expertise in haptics is second to none, they are already working with Qualcomm to bring new haptics APIs to Android phones, their Lofelt Studio software to create advanced haptic patterns is a perfect match with Nice Vibrations, and, put simply, the firepower they bring to the table is what's needed to take Nice Vibrations to the next level. You can check out Lofelt's announcement on Medium.

What does that mean for you?

• a new version, v4.0, will drop on the Asset Store soon, that will bring some great new features, like the ability to modulate haptics at runtime, loop complex haptics, 100+ Lofelt designed haptic clips, and more!
• if you already own Nice Vibrations or Feel, you'll have access to this new version for free, otherwise the price won't change
• Feel will continue to include Nice Vibrations going forward, and will keep granting you access to it for free via a store discount, so you can still get it as a separate product
• Lofelt will take over support and user feedback to help improve the product, they’ll be available via support emails and on Discord.
• exciting future updates, like the ability to turn any audio source into haptics directly from Unity, control the speed of haptics playback, or being able to feed an audio stream directly into Nice Vibrations and have it convert it into haptics on the fly

I hope you'll like this new version!
